OpenSAML user discussion

[rangeli nepal <>]

Thank you Scott and Chad. Source of my confusion is in specification itself. I am going throuhg saml-binding-2.0. In section 3.7

it says

"URIs are a protocol-independent means of referring to a resource. This binding is not a general SAML

request/response binding, but rather supports the encapsulation of a <samlp:AssertionIDRequest>

message with a single <saml:AssertionIDRef> into the resolution of a URI. The result of a successful

request is a SAML <saml:Assertion> element (but not a complete SAML response)."

I thought this means I need to retrieve Assertion using AssertionIDRequest. Currently way I get AssertionIDRef is under saml2:Advice.

am I missing something?

Thank you.

The URI binding has no request message, it's a binding to dereference a URI
into an assertion directly.
